Description

Elicitation of Dog vs Knife Minimal Pair. We had initially identified this as a minimal pair, postulating that there is a difference in vowel length. After statistically analysing the tokens, it was discovered that there was no difference either in vowel length or pitch. Caroline asked Susan if she could tell the difference between the recorded tokens of knife and the recorded tokens of dog, and she responded that they all sounded like 'dog'. Susan subsequently elicited the pair from her husband, Tom, who makes a clear distinction.
